Subheading: Vinification of the Spätburgunder dry 0.375l – Weingut Metzger

1. The grapes are cultivated in selected vineyards, ideally characterized by stony soils and a mild climatic influence. The vineyards are optimally oriented to ensure maximum sun exposure. This carefully chosen location contributes significantly to the development of intense fruit aromas.

2. The vines are tended according to sustainable principles. The grapes ripen slowly, which contributes to a full-bodied flavor development. During harvest, only fully ripe grapes are picked by hand to ensure the best quality.

3. Vinification is carried out gently. In the cellar, the grapes are destemmed, lightly crushed, and fermented under temperature control. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature between 22 and 28 degrees Celsius. This preserves the fruit and aromas in the best possible way. The must ferments for several days to extract the intense tannins and aromas. After fermentation is complete, careful pressing takes place.

4. The maturation of the wine takes place in stainless steel tanks and partly in oak barrels, which lend the fruit additional finesse and complexity. The contact with wood is deliberately measured in order to preserve the freshness and liveliness of the Spätburgunder. The wine is stored for several months so that the aromas can meld harmoniously and the wine can gain in finesse.

5. Before bottling, the wine undergoes filtration and stabilization. The result is an elegant, balanced, and lively wine that unfolds its full potential and brings out its fine nuances to optimum effect.
